My experience with the O-Team as a first-time homebuyer was truly exceptional. Being in my early…read more20s and an active-duty service member who joined the military right out of high school, I had very little understanding of the home-buying process. From learning about different loan options to understanding the true costs associated with closing and down payments, there was a lot I didn't know. Fortunately, the O-Team regularly hosts first-time homebuyer seminars that provide valuable insight into the process. They break down common misconceptions, explain what buyers should expect, and offer practical advice on what to do--and what to avoid. I highly recommend these seminars to anyone considering purchasing a home. After attending their seminars and seeing the level of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care that Joe and his team bring to their clients, I knew they were the team I wanted to work with. Throughout the entire process, they made everything feel seamless and were always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how small or insignificant I thought they might be. What truly sets the O-Team apart is their commitment to their clients beyond the closing table. Their support doesn't end when you receive your keys--they continue to check in, offer guidance, and celebrate your success as a homeowner. They make you feel like family throughout the journey and long after the purchase is complete. I am incredibly grateful for their support and would confidently recommend the O-Team to any friends, family members, or fellow service members looking to buy a home.

If I can sum up the sale of my childhood home experience in one word, it would be: GUIDED…read more Closing the chapter on my childhood home was a very emotional experience but having Khai and his team by my side made things easier than I thought it would be. From the very beginning, I could tell that Khai was looking out for my family's best interest. He took the time to listen to the story of the home, how many generations have been there, what our intentions and future family/generation goals are. We discussed a plan and Khai was alongside us every step of the way. Whenever I had concerns or needed help in certain areas (ex. needed a painter), Khai had solutions and provided several options. Whenever I felt confused or not sure where to turn, Khai would take the time to consult the pros, cons and things to consider with me. Khai and his team helped to navigate me with much respect. Never once did I feel pushed or rushed into making a decision. As I look back on the experience, I very much felt guided and supported. We trust Khai and his team so much that we included him in our family estate plan as the official family real estate agent. Thank you, Khai, Janelle, and everyone who has been by our side in this process. We look forward to working with you in the many years ahead!

Had a great upfront experience and conversation with Gill Mara about a few of the rental property…read morelistings posted by RedFin. Overall he was courteous and incredibly responsive via email and online inquiry. A few of the rental properties weren't available for immediate showing, which I understand, but Gill did a great job at scheduling me for the earliest dates and times. Unfortunately, things quickly turned when Gill began asking for a (maybe refundable) deposit prior to the official showing date. A rather large deposit amount may I add. I just didn't like feeling pressured into putting money into a rental property that I hadn't seen or experienced yet. Ended up withdrawing my interest due to the pressure.

Once we arrived, Caron already knew what we were looking for and had several properties scheduled for us to tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to find the ideal property during our visit.
